And it happens every time
Give my love, she leaves me behind
Yes, it happens every time
The sorrow makes me lose my mind

If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's sayin'

Oh baby, won't you stay mine
Your lovin' makes me feel so fine
And someday baby you'll find
My love was gentle and kind

Someday you'll know that leaving me was wrong
But don't bother all that time is gone

And it happens every time
Now I know it's not worth the tryin'
So baby, don't turn around
Let my tears fall to the ground

If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's sayin'
